## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-instagram-media-api-b1db5c16 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the media details for a specific Instagram post — I need the metadata like likes, media type, and caption from that post's data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve Instagram media data and want to pay per request with USDC on Base chain without managing your own Instagram API credentials. Suitable for agents needing occasional, on-demand access to Instagram media details without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing media ID returns an empty or error result
- Instagram rate limiting or API restrictions may cause failures
- Invalid USDC payment on Base chain results in 402 Payment Required
